I've seen the new treatment called venaseal. Is it for spider veins too? (Photo)

You have a combination of spider veins and reticular veins; these are veins within the skin layer which have become dilated, thus revealing the blood within them (which is what gives the color). Venaseal is a glue used to treat veins deeper in the legs for those people with circulation problems or varicose veins (which you do not have). Sclerotherapy and foam sclerotherapy from someone who does it everyday is your best bet. Good luck!

Venaseal is a treatment used for larger, bulging varicose veins. It is a form of super glue that seals off the diseased vein permanently. Sclerotherapy or VeinGogh would be a better plan for spider veins.

Venaseal is for large superficial veins called saphenous veins. Spider veins associated with saphenous reflux can be improved with venaseal ,but generally sclerotherapy is the treatment of choice for spider veins.

Venaseal is like crazy glue that closes off larger veins with venous insufficiency. It is not for spider veins.

Venaseal is not meant to treat spider veins. It is meant to glue shut the larger veins that are the actual source of the reflux that typically then lead to spider veins. For spider veins, cosmetic sclerotherapy is best usually with STS or asclera (polidocanol).

Venaseal is not intended to treat spider veins. Venaseal is used to treat reflux in the saphenous system. Many people who have spider veins also have saphenous reflux. However, you should not expect Venaseal treatment to improve your spider veins. The best treatment for spider veins is sclerotherapy. Certain laser treatments are also effective for spider veins. I always recommend seeing a provider who performs a variety of different treatments. That is the best way to obtain objective information regarding the best method for your particular case, rather than just a single option if that is all that a particular provider offers.

Hello,
The cheapest treatment for spider veins will be sclerotherapy or laser. Having said this, your treatment depends on whether you have an underlying issue causing your veins or not. If you have associated symptoms such as fatigue, heaviness, and general leg discomfort, you should first obtain an ultrasound study to assess your underlying anatomy.
Venaseal is a new FDA approved procedure that is used to treat underlying pathology, it is not used for spider vein treatment. Good luck.

The FDA reviewed data for the VenaSeal system: Data supporting the FDA approval included results from three clinical studies sponsored by the manufacturer. The U.S. clinical study assessed the safety and effectiveness of the VenaSeal system in 108 participants compared to radio-frequency ablation in 114 participants. The trials showed the device to be safe and effective for vein closure for the treatment of symptomatic superficial varicose veins of the legs.
The FDA clearance document states "The VenaSeal system should not be used in patients who have a known hypersensitivity to the VenaSeal adhesive, acute inflammation of the veins due to blood clots or acute whole-body infection. Adverse events observed in the trial—and generally associated with treatments of this condition—included vein inflammation (phlebitis) and burning or tingling ...
